Work gloves are essential personal protective equipment in various industries and working environments. They are designed with different functions to meet specific needs and protect the hands of workers from a wide range of potential hazards. The following are detailed descriptions of different types of work gloves based on their functions.

   Cut Resistant Gloves   

Usage: 

Mainly used to prevent hands from being cut by sharp objects such as knives, glass, and metal pieces. They are widely used in industries like meat processing, glass manufacturing, and metalworking. For example, in a meat processing workshop, when workers use sharp knives to cut meat, chainmail butcher gloves can effectively protect the safety of their hands.

Material Features: 

Usually made of high-strength fiber materials, such as HPPE, fiberglass, steel wire and Kevlar fiber. These blended materials have extremely high anti-cutting performance and can also maintain a certain degree of flexibility, allowing workers' fingers to move flexibly during operation.

   Impact Resistant Gloves   

Usage: 

Mainly used to protect hands in working scenarios where collisions may occur, reducing the impact on joints and hand bones. They are commonly seen in logistics handling, construction sites, oil rigs, and in other heavy-duty industries. For example, in a logistics warehouse, workers frequently handle heavy objects. When heavy objects accidentally collide with hands, anti - impact gloves can effectively cushion the impact.

Material Features: 

Usually, there are cushioning materials such as thick sponge on the palm, and TPR on the back of hand. These cushioning materials can absorb and disperse the impact force, reducing the damage to the hands caused by collisions. The gloves linner is generally made of nylon yarn or cut resistant blended yarn, to ensure the durability of the gloves during repeated collisions and frictions.

   Cold Resistant Gloves   

Usage: 

Provide warmth protection for hands when working in cold environments to ensure that hands remain flexible and warm. They are commonly seen in outdoor work, cold storage work, polar scientific exploration and other scenarios. For example, for power repair workers working outdoors in the cold, cold resistant gloves can effectively resist low temperatures, prevent hands from being frostbitten, and enable them to operate tools normally.

Material Features: 

Cold resistant usually come in single-layer and double-layer types. Single-layer one usually made by 7G or 10G terry brushed acrylic glove, and then dipped with latex coating. Double-layer one usually use 7G terry brushed acrylic glove as inner layer, and 13G nylon or polyester glove as outer layer, and the outer layer is dipped with latex coating. Double-layer gloves have better thermal insulation performance. In addition, in order to facilitate operation, the gloves will be designed to be relatively flexible and not too bulky.

   Heat Resistant Gloves   

Usage: 

Used in high-temperature working environments to prevent hands from being scalded by high temperatures. In steel smelting, glass furnace operation, fire rescue and other work scenarios, workers need to wear high temperature resistant gloves to touch high-temperature objects.

Material Features: 

Usually made of high-temperature resistant fiber materials, such as aramid (Nomex), pre-oxidized fiber, and other blended fiber. These materials can withstand relatively high temperatures and will not decompose or burn quickly under high temperatures. The outer layer of the gloves may also dotted with a silicone pattern to further enhance its anti-slip properties. In order to improve its high temperature resistance, it usually comes in two layers, namely a heat insulation outer layer and a comfortable lining inside the glove.

   Chemical Resistant Gloves   

Usage:   

Specifically used to protect the skin from damage by various dangerous chemicals, such as acids, alkalis and other corrosive chemical substances. They are widely used in chemical production, hazardous waste treatment, chemical weapon protection and other fields. For example, when dealing with hazardous chemical leakage accidents, operator must wear chemical protection gloves to avoid skin contact with harmful substances.

Material Features: 

Depending on the different types of chemical substances to be protected against, the materials are diverse. For strongly oxidizing substances and some special dangerous chemicals, high-performance materials such as neoprene chemical resistant gloves can be used. This material has extremely high chemical stability and can resist the erosion of many chemical substances such as EN 374 AJKLMT. Usually, it comes with a long cuff to prevent chemical substances from contacting the skin through the cuff.

   Waterproof Gloves   

Usage: 

Used in working environments where hands need to be kept dry, such as underwater work, aquatic product processing, and cleaning work.

Material Features: 

Mainly made of waterproof rubber or synthetic rubber materials, such as neoprene (Neoprene). This material not only has good waterproof performance but also has a certain degree of flexibility and tear resistance. Some waterproof gloves will also add warming materials inside for working in cold and wet environments.

   Puncture Resistant Gloves   

Usage:  

Used to resist puncture injuries to the hands caused by sharp objects, ideal for those working in waste management, health care and gardening working, etc. In the construction industry, workers may come into contact with nails, steel bars and other sharp items; in gardening work, they may encounter thorns, etc. Puncture resistant gloves can play a good protective role.

Material Features: 

Generally, multilayer composite materials are used. For example, the outer layer of some puncture-resistant gloves is wear-resistant leather, which provides good abrasion resistance and a certain degree of puncture resistance. The inner layer is a high-strength synthetic fiber to enhance the puncture resistance.
